Petra explains the new voting system: First juries, then televotes.

Now each of the 42 countries participating in Eurovision 2016 are called, and their jury points are given (only the 12-points are presented orally).

Now it's time to present the pooled televotes from the lowest to the highest. The last 10 countries to receive televoting points are being shown with reactions from greenroom.

The last four contries to receive televoting points are being shown on screen on the same time.

And the winner is...

Voting

The voting has changed a bit this year. Each country will now have two sets of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10 and 12 points to give. One set for each country's jury, and one set for each country's televoting.

Check out the voting order

Each of the 42 countries participating in this years Eurovision will vote

Each country has a national jury who gives one set of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10 and 12 points

Each country will have televoting which also results in a set of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10 and 12 points

First the the juries points will be presented individually by a spokesperson from each country

Secondly the points from televoting will be bundled and given combined

The national juries voted yesterday evening (Friday, 13 May) based on the second dress-rehearsal

If two countries have the same points, the best of the two is the song which has obtained points from the highest number of countries. If the tying songs have received points from the same number of countries, the highest number of 12-point scores shall be decisive. If the winner still cannot be determined by this procedure, the number of times ten points have been awarded shall be the deciding factor. If necessary, this method shall continue until account has been taken of the number of times one point has been awarded
